Tomato Basil Garlic Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes and Light Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
1 box Scratch Pasta Co. Tomato Basil Garlic Fusilli
2 Tbsp of Graza Sizzle olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 jar (16 ounces) Natural Blonde Bloody Mary mix
1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1-2 balls fresh burrata
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the Tomato Basil Garlic pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and sauce to reduce.
4. Stir in the sundried tomatoes and half of the fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it gently with the sauce until well-coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors.
6. Remove from heat and plate.
7. Top with ball of burrata, gently opening one side to allow it to warm and ooze. Top with remaining basil, a drizzle of additional Graza, and fresh salt & pepper.
